Jay, the other effective, but no so accelerant related method, is to get a 5 gallon bucket. Put some ice and cold water in it. Add your favorite Bug Juice, stirred not shaken.
I happen to like Malathion for bees. At night, when they are all in the hole, pour the concoction into the hole. The cold/ice water stops them in their tracks, just like it was a cold night, then the Bug Juice makes 'em take the "eternal dirt-nap".
No glorious fireballs, no Bangs or POWs. But it does effectively kill 100% of them.
I like the fireballs myself. Like little fun mushroom clouds.
